“We are very excited to be the first ESL school within the Metaverse. This will help establish Tutors On Demand as a leading future provider of online virtual learning tools. Tutors On Demand will promote and advertise its unique EdTech online learning platform “EDSY” to students within the Metaverse. Students will be able to begin studying the English language and participating in the Metaverse ESL classroom. In the future Tutors On Demand plans on offering additional languages and other subjects. Tutors On Demand will be rolling out a variety of programs and initiatives over-time. Web 3.0 and specifically the Metaverse offers a safe, efficient and fun environment and represents a new way to reach and interact with students and customers. Tutors On Demand will be establishing an early presence within the Metaverse and we believe it will provide us with new users, marketing opportunities and strengthen the Tutors On Demand brand. We are excited to be working with TerraZero, a knowledgeable and experienced Metaverse company”.

Over the coming weeks, Tutors On Demand intends to finalize the design and plan for its virtual office, including the creation of avatars to assist potential users and customers at its Decentraland office. The Company will announce a grand opening of its Metaverse office space and learning environment when it is ready and open to the public and students from around the world.

About the Metaverse
“The Metaverse is an expansive network of persistent, real-time rendered 3D worlds and simulations that support continuity of identity, objects, history, payments, and entitlements, and can be experienced synchronously by an effectively unlimited number of users, each with an individual sense of presence.”1

The Metaverse is a digital universe that combines multiple elements of technology for a range of human activities, including the integration of virtual spaces and virtual economies. Humans can enter the Metaverse using a virtual reality headset and can interact with each other at virtual events. The word “Metaverse” is made up of the prefix "meta" (meaning beyond) and the stem “verse” (a back-formation from “universe”)[1]; the term is typically used to describe the concept of a future iteration of the internet, made up of persistent, shared, 3D virtual spaces linked into a perceived virtual universe[2]. The metaverse in a broader sense may not only refer to virtual worlds, but Internet as a whole, including the entire spectrum of augmented reality[3].
